Chapter 21 I'll just follow, you are free!
Zhao Xu called the big guys to enjoy the wintersweets, in fact, to implement this matter. As for why it was here, not at the court meeting, Han Qi thought a lot.
Except for him and Ouyang Bian, there is only one person who is really considered to be Lu Gongzhu, and the rest are Zhang Fangping, Su Song, Han Wei and Han Jiang brothers, and Lu Huiqing.
Lu Gongzhao and Su Shi were too humble to say too much, and Han Wei and Han Jiang were neutral and did not speak. Ouyang Bian, Zhang Fangping, and Su Song seemed to have colluded together.
In other words, there are four to one in the political affairs hall.
Three people participated in politics, and one second minister united together to deal with him as prime minister.
If he was in the court meeting, he would naturally not suffer such a loss, but when he arrived at this place, he seemed weak.
This is a concentrated setting.
And who saved this game? Is it necessary to say more?
It is this young emperor - Zhao Xu!
Han Qi felt cold in his heart.
Zhang Fangping and Su Song stood on Ouyang Bian's side, thinking that they wanted to go a step further.
If he retreats, Zhang Fangping can take the opportunity to go further. According to his qualifications, Su Song can naturally become a second-level minister.
But why did Zhao Xu ask him to retreat?
Han Qi couldn't quite understand.
This was not when Zhao Xu first ascended the throne, and when he just ascended the throne, he had retreated. At that time, he could understand that Zhao Xu needed to establish his own authority.
But now Zhao Xu's power is stable and Ouyang Bian is rising rapidly. According to tradition, someone will have to restrain him.
Han Qi couldn't quite understand.
He and Mr. Lu walked together.
After walking for a while, Lu Gong looked at the no one around him and whispered: "Han Xiang..."
Han Qi stopped, looked at the snow under his feet, and then said, "Go to my house tonight and say, "You go back first."
Mr. Lu was stunned and nodded and left first.
When Han Qi saw a wintersweet tree in the corner of the wall, he walked over and walked to the other side. He could see the intersection that came out of the Imperial Garden. He stood there, as if attracted by the wintersweet tree, but in fact he had been staring at the intersection.
After a while, an Ang Zang figure appeared from the intersection. When the man walked in, Han Qi pretended to raise his head and said happily: "Hey, Ji Mo, such a coincidence?"
That person was Ouyang Bian.
Ouyang Bian had noticed Han Qi long ago, and smiled and walked over: "Mr. Han is quite happy to appreciate the plum blossoms, but the weather is so cold, so he is not afraid of being frozen."
Han Qi sighed and said, "It doesn't matter. It's cold and the weather is so cold inside and outside. It's better to just take a look at the beautiful scenery outside."
Ouyang Bian was stunned: "Don't there be charcoal at Mr. Han's house? I'll send you two trucks of silver charcoal to Mr. Han. If you want to be more elegant, I'll send you two trucks of olive charcoal. Although the thing is not resistant to burning and will be frying from time to time, the thing is expensive and it is said to be of style."
Han Qi couldn't help but feel angry.
His words contain mystery. As a big man, he pays attention to what he says, but if he says too lightly, he will lose his level.
But Ouyang Bian not only refused to respond, but also said that olive charcoal is expensive and not practical, but some people like to use it. Isn’t this just a satirizing him for showing off?
OK, it’s true that they are pretending to be so pretentious, but everyone is so pretentious, am I going too far?
Seeing that Ouyang Bian did not respond, Han Qi could only speak openly.
"Ji Mo, your father and I are good friends. I wrote your father's epitaph. Such elegant stories are passed down to later generations, that is, the Ouyang family and the Han family are family friends. Why do we make such ugly things? You say yes, just forget it. Let's live in harmony in the future and endure it for the Song Dynasty."
Ouyang Bian nodded: "Uncle Shi said yes."
Han Qi was happy: "Then let's go through this, it's better to be exempted from the three departments' trial."
Ouyang Bian looked like you treated me like a fool, but Han Qi was not embarrassed: "Oh, staying at the forefront of life will make it easy to meet in the future."
Ouyang Bian whispered: "Uncle Shi, do you think I am a fool?"
Han Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Or why I'll give you a list and arrange ten positions. Is this OK?"
Ouyang Bian sneered: "Uncle Shi, I call you Uncle Shi. I really respect you in my heart. In fact, before this, I really respect you very much. Although you have never known why, you are always hostile to me, you still respect your character.
But this time... Haha, Han Qi, you actually used such a savory matter to defame my reputation. You claim to be a gentleman, but that's all.
I never took the initiative to provoke you, but you have been suppressing me. If it weren't for this, I would have entered the Political Affairs Hall long ago, so why would I have waited until now?
This year's drought, Han Qi, could not solve it himself, so he threw the pot to me, without any responsibility, and wanted to use this to get rid of me. This is what you call a family friendship.
This time, I directly defamed my reputation and wanted to destroy me into the eighteenth level of hell. Now you say "Unfortunate" as a country. Haha, Han Qi, the most shameless person I have ever seen cannot be compared with you."
Han Qi was scolded like this in person by a junior, and no matter how thick Han Qi was, his face was like a pot. Han Qi said angrily: "Enough, you junior, have no rules at all. Do you want to break the verge of death? Do you think you are sure to win?
I, Han Qi, have been storms for decades, and I have never seen any scenes before. If you want to fight, come and fight. I, Han Qi, are waiting for you!"
Ouyang Bian laughed, laughing happily: "Okay, then you can do it, I'll go ahead."
After saying that, Ouyang Bian lifted his foot and left.
Such insults are of little significance and cannot hurt the other party at all. If you are willing to reconcile, you can have a good talk, but Ouyang Bian has lost patience with Han Qi. In any case, both sides will inevitably have a fight, so no matter how much they say, it will be nonsense.
Han Qi stood beside the wintersweet, his face turned pale and blue.
He has been in politics for decades, and has had peaks and troughs, but it was the first time he was forced to this point by a junior.
In fact, the matter of thirty or forty middle-level officials starting at the Censorate is of course important, but if you don’t move the senior officials, you will never hurt your vitality. Han Qi gritted his teeth and was actually acceptable.
But today's situation in the Imperial Garden made him feel the crisis.
He faced a temporary group that was no longer just Ouyang Bian, but a joint force of several parties.
Zhao Xu, Zhang Fangping, Su Song, and Ouyang Bian Group have joined forces to deal with themselves, which is very dangerous.
Therefore, Han Qi hopes to reach a settlement with Ouyang Bian. As long as Ouyang Bian can be used as a breakthrough, this small group will be broken.
As for Zhang Fangping and Su Song, it is difficult to start because they are the direct beneficiaries.
